Ridiculous to the Savvy; Offensive to the Conscientious

Ridiculous to the Savvy

Offensive to the Conscientious

The word “damn” means damaged. Literally.

A descriptive when not a judgment.  A condemned

building is damaged, unsafe to be  in. Un-salvaged

—in need of  salvation I guess is how “damn”

transitions from description to judgment

SIN, too—“essence,” “being” :  from I.E.es, esse

and hijacked over to the wild side.  Pity. Evil (upos):

up from below.  Good words gone bad.. That damned

moral sense.

When I question how I’m doing something rather

than just plain doing it, I throw a monkey wrench

into the process so to speak & interfere & interrupt.

Driving to Santa Cruz say, actually or merely in

manners of speaking: if I have second or third

thoughts about going there or ways to go,  my velocity

is significantly reduced by questioning and doubting,

doubling and messing up my moves on down the road.

Demoralizing as far as getRdone is concerned. Hush.

Furthermore, just as I did not think it worthwhile

to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave me

over to a depraved mind, so that I do what ought

not to be done. I have become filled with every kind

of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity.  I am full

of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. I gossip, 

slander, a God-hater, insolent, arrogant and boastful;

I invent ways of doing evil; I disobey my parents; I

have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. 

Although I know God’s righteous decree that those

who do such things deserve death, I not only continue

to do these very things but also approve of those who

practice them.
